Now that Senator Stanford is
giving some attention to his public
duties, he acts with the common sense
and thoroughness characteristic of
him. Standing squarely upon the
Constitution of the United States, he
tells the prohibitiouists that no one
has right to say what he shall eat or
drink. In regard to the surplus in
the Treasury, which is causing such
widespread alarm in business circles,
he proposes to do away with it at once
by offering financial aid to the Ameri-
can merchant marine, and thus as
sisting it to regain the place which it
formerly held, and to prevent any
further increase by abolishing the in
ternal revenue taxes. This is the
best, most statesmanllke solution of
the serious difficulty presented by the
condition of our national finances
which we have yet seen proposed,
and we believe that it will be adopted
by Congress.

WOOD RIVER TIMES
HALEY. IDAHO.
THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Presidents annual message is
devoted to one subject, viz: The sur
plus in tho United States Treasury.
In order to reduce this surplus and
prevent any further accumulation, the
President proposes that the tariff be
reduced and the list of articles admit
ted free of duty increased. This is
simple enough and fully acceptable
to the English Free Trade Golden
Club, and if this country were to be
governed for the sole benefit of for
eign manufacturers and foreign pauper
laborers, the Presidents recommends
tons would meet with an enthusiastic
reception. But, unfortunately for Mr.
Cleveland, this country is not run
solely for the benefit of foreigners re-
siding in foreign lands and our own
producers, manufacturers, and con-
sumers will insist that their interest
shall be considered little in making
laws for their convenience. This will
cause a conflict in the halls of Con-
gress that will soon spread throughout
the country, and it is not improbable
that the lines will be so drawn that
the next Presidential campaign will
be fought not between the old
Democrats and Republicans as such,
bnt between the Free Traders on one
side, and the Protectionsts on the
other.

Mr.. Mccarthy and the RaIIroads.

Mr.. MCCARTHY has attempted to save him.
self from his friends and supporters by
writing letter to the Argus in which he
says that he is in favor of the city's holding
on TO the Ogdensburg railroad, and expresses
the opinion that he can act with impartialiiy
on questions arising between the city and the
Portland q Rochester railroad, notwithstand-
ing he Is stakeholder and director in that
ROAD. AS nobody SO far as we know has ac-
cused him Of desiring that the city should
let the Ogdensburg go his defence seems
70 be somewhat premature to say the least
However. ha thoueht real.sl,s LilaL sucn an
Inference might be drawn from the character
of some of the interests that are
hard at work for him-a not un-
natural suspicion we confess. The cit
liens of Portland will watch with
great interest to see the effect Mr.. McCar
thy's letter has upon his railroad boom. Its
natural effect, Of course, will be to cause it
70 dwindle into nothingness, and practically
70 take him out of the race for the mayoralty,
Tor the custom house and post office un-
assisted are hardly powerful enough to sus-
tain him. If they should find the railroad
interests still booming him, II they should
ma the word being passed around among the
railroad employees that Mr. Mccarthy was
the proper man to vote for, If they should
ma the campaign fund still pouring in, and
should hear his friends confidently predicting
MS election, they would be constrained to
conclude that his letter had not for some
reason produced its natural effect.
In the course Of his letter Mr.. Mccarthy
invites MIR. Chapman to give his views on
railroad questions. That would be quite
superfiuous. Mayor Chapman's views are
known Of all men. He has no entanelinq
alliances which it is necessary for him to
try and cut loose from by letter writing. He
has no need to counterfeit the character of
of his support by proclaiming that he will
be able to act for the interests of the city in
spite of it. 1t was he who first proposed
and advocated the amendment that provides
that the Ogdensburg railroad shall not be
sold or leased without the consent of
majority of the people. TWAS largely through
his efforts that the additional stock in the
Ogdensburg was issued to the city, giving to
the latter stronger hold upon the property.
Mr.. Chapman has something better than
words to show his attitude in regard to this

some OF the laboring men would have it, and
goes farther than some of the corporations
would wish, but it is abreast of the laws that
other States have passed on the subject. Ex-

probably be made in it.

Though the appropriation bills are behind
and this session Of Congress bids fair
to end in rush and turmoil it can fairly
be said that mnch more has been accom-
plished during this session than during the
first one. The most important of the meas
ures that have become laws are undoubtedly
the Interstate commerce law and the law
regulating the electoral count. The retaIia-
ton bill has not yet got through, brit prob
aDly the session will not be allowed to ex-
pire without its passage, as the differences
between the two houses are not very essen
tial.

Inc present Congress dies Friday, and it
LOOKS now as II Unjust die leaving a good
deal Of -itslw0rk unfinished, or finished in a
very uhintelligent manner. The appropria-
tion bills are way behind hand, and though
perhaps there is time to pass them there GER
paRhly is not time to consider them. They
must get through, If at all, without their
contents being known to any but the men,
bers Of the committees that have prepared
them. But if these bills are not passed an
extra session must be held. The choice.
therefore, is between passing the appro-
priation bills in rush and calling an extra
session On the whole the former is the
least of the two evils.
